During Oregon's spring football camp, LaMichael James was asked several questions about his relationship with Willie Lyles, who mentored James and teammate Lache Seastrunk. In this interview from April 2, James defends his friend, Lyles, and has some questions of his own.

"Willie Lyles said, in an interview that lasted several days, 'I look back at it now and they paid for what they saw as my access and influence with recruits. The service I provided went beyond what a scouting service should … I made a mistake and I’m big enough of a man to admit I was wrong.' ”

The story continues:

"Calls and text messages to Chip Kelly’s two cell phones were not returned."

"Oregon spokesman Dave Williford said the university maintains its stance that there was no wrongdoing, and that comment will be withheld until the NCAA’s investigation has been resolved.
